How to Make a Jasmine Grapefruit Tequila Fizz
Step 1: Prepare the Syrup & Salt (if using)
Make jasmine green tea syrup by combining water and sugar over medium heat.
Stir until dissolved. Lower heat and steep 2 jasmine green tea bags for 5 minutes.
Cool, remove tea bags, and refrigerate.
For pink rose salt, crush 6 dried rose buds and mix with 2 tablespoons coarse Himalayan pink salt.
Step 2: Rim the Glass & Prep Garnish
Slice two grapefruit wedges.
Use one to wet the rim of a double rocks glass, then roll it in the pink rose salt.
Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
Step 3: Muddle & Mix
In a shaker, muddle 3 raspberries.
Add tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, jasmine syrup, and ice.
Shake vigorously until well chilled.
Step 4: Strain & Top
Fine strain into the prepared glass.
Top with club soda (or grapefruit sparkling water) and garnish with the reserved grapefruit wedge.
